    Here's what he said, why don't you stop with the lies and slander already, you're really starting to appear quite desperate...

    MR. RUSSERT: I was intrigued by your comments about Abe Lincoln. "According to Paul, Abe Lincoln should never have gone to war; there were better ways of getting rid of slavery."

    REP. PAUL: Absolutely. Six hundred thousand Americans died in a senseless civil war. No, he shouldn't have gone, gone to war. He did this just to enhance and get rid of the original intent of the republic. I mean, it was the--that iron, iron fist..

    MR. RUSSERT: We'd still have slavery.

    REP. PAUL: Oh, come on, Tim. Slavery was phased out in every other country of the world. And the way I'm advising that it should have been done is do like the British empire did. You, you buy the slaves and release them. How much would that cost compared to killing 600,000 Americans and where it lingered for 100 years? I mean, the hatred and all that existed. So every other major country in the world got rid of slavery without a civil war. I mean, that doesn't sound too radical to me. That sounds like a pretty reasonable approach.

    I don't think that anyone could logically deny that a Third Party run by Paul would influence the presidential race in a negative way. Well, it would be "negative" if you are against amnesty and social benefits to going to illegals. I'm not adverse to a Third Party run, however, I'm intelligent enough to know (I'd like to think so anyway ) that a run by Paul, who is a Republican, would only serve to hurt our chances of getting a Republican in office. Of course if Guiliani, McCain, or Huckabee win the RNC nomination, it's not going to matter either way where amnesty for illegals is concerned. Lord, can you even begin to imagine the hit our cause would take with a Democrat controlled Congress and a Democrat President? I shudder at the thought.

    If Paul can't win the RNC nomination outright, I pray he doesn't decide to run as a third party candidate. Such a run would most definitely siphon off votes from the Republican running. Like I said though, it won't matter if the Republican running is Guiliani, Huckabee, or McCain. Let me go on record stating here and now, the only way I would ever consider supporting a third party run by Paul is if Guiliani, Huckabee, or McCain win the RNC nomination.

    This isn't about Paul, because a run by Bloomberg or Lou Dobbs would do the same thing. I know we all love Lou, however, to underestimate the power of the two-party system we unfortunately have would be akin to stabbing our cause in the heart. I don't like the current system anymore than the rest of you, but unfortunately it is what it is for now.

    Personally, I don't think Paul is going to run as a Third Party candidate because he is well aware of how the deck is stacked against such a run.

    There are many issue that the Ron Paul children of the corn never seem to be worried about and those are the issues I am as a voter have on my mind.

    06/22/2005 Flag Desecration Resolution

    H J Res 10: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States authorizing the Congress to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.
    Paul voted na


    06/03/2003 Desecration of Flag resolution

    HJ Res 4: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States authorizing the Congress to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.

    Paul voted na

    07/17/2001 Flag Desecration resolution N

    H J Res 36: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States authorizing the Congress to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.

    Paul voted na



    06/24/1999 Flag Desecration Amendment N
    06/12/1997 Flag Desecration Constitutional Amendment N and so one and so on


    H AMDT 887 to HR4300: An amendment to specify that the Secretary of Defense shall assist in keeping illegal drugs out of the U.S. by assigning members of the Armed Forces to assist the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Customs Service.

    Paul voted No

    H.AMDT.216: Amendment sought to require individuals who wish to purchase firearms at a gun show to submit to a background check before they are able to complete their purchase; and require a three business day period for completion of the background check.
    Paul voted it no



    Now the real good one is the amber alert Bill Number: S 151 - 108th Congress (2003-2004)
    Paul voted no

    Ya what a great guy for president
    A president that stands up for Child abduction and molestation, gambling and prostitution in the same store , legal drugs, and no federal government, no more IRS, no more back ground checks for hand guns and Burn the flag if you like.
    I just wonder if wonder if he’s on the pot when he votes. Not to mention he will never even get close to enough of the Black vote since he made himself real clear about those issues he has

    If Americas armned forces and money were the only issue he fail so bad it would make history. so many bad votes on those its not even funny But those are not the only issues Americans look at. now are they

    The Florida Democrat has launched a Web site – www.wexlerwantshearings.com– and is gathering signatures calling for impeachment hearings against Vice President Dick Cheney.

    http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/591422.html

    If they aren't wasting our money on outrageous salary's and pensions, they are wasting it on never ending impeachment hearings and investigations that do nothing but squander our tax dollars and let them pretend they are accomplising something. Enough of this BS. I now believe that Ron Paul is the only hope from getting away from business as usual; a total upheaval of our system is what is required. His plan would force politicians to be accountable to their States and localities. We the people, would have more power to decide where and how our money will be spent.
    If Ron Paul is not able to stay the course, my next hope for change will be Fred Thompson.

    Am I experiencing dejuvue or did I see and comment on this exact same posting in another thread just minutes ago?

    When I read something that upsets me and is a blatant example of the ineptness of our representatives, I think it's worth sharing. I'm sorry you don't share that viewpoint.

    Greg do me a favor and treat everyone on this board with the same respect that you yourself expect, your cutesy name calling is not that way.

    Ya what a great guy for president

    Nice twist, I'm sure that Dr Paul abducts a child every night.
    Gambling is already allowed in almost every state of this country, prostitution in one.
    Alcohol is a drug and is legal and far more damaging to health and family than the "pot" that you speak of.
    He has never spoken of NO federal government only reducing its size and scope.

    Shows how you think and what you really understand about what is going on here. This is about the people. Not The Republican party and not really even about RP. You suggest authoritatively the GOP is about to "shut him down". Hmmm like I said you haven't a clue. The GOP may put one of the chosen ones in but it will NEVER "shut us down".
